Caring for someone

A carer is someone who looks after and supports a family member, friend or neighbour who could not manage without their help

Adult carers

Being a young carer may feel like too much of a responsibility – find people who can help you and build a strong support network

Young carers

If you're over 18 and would like to make an amazing difference to someone’s life by offering them a place in your home, you could apply to become a shared lives carer
